Re: [ST] Gas Mileage



Funny, that's what I get with my 03 Sprint!  I just refilled again
yesterday:  160.3 miles 4.4-- gal (US).  If I ride a more spirited pace
all the time, I'm lucky to get 150 miles.  On longer tours, with full
bags and wife attached, I get around 45 mpg.  The farthest I've ever
gone before the low fuel light came on was 198 miles.

Too bad I don't have the extra 30 hp that comes with the Daytona...

My reserve light comes on at 250kms, or 155 miles if I ride my usual
style, or 200kms if there's a track day involved.

Whatever they did to the 955 motor to squeeze the extra 30hp for the
Daytona must have played havoc with the fuel consumption.

Chiming in late, I know, but I had a good run.  Seems the Sprint has a
sweet spot (similar to my Hawk GT) of about 50-60mph.  Ran more than
half a tank on Maine back roads home the 4th, followed by a commute to
Boston from southern NH.  Low fuel light came on at 243.5 instead of
the
usual 220 (+/-) miles.  Calculator showed 51.8mpg (+/- different pump
variances).  Tells me I could do the BRP in two tankfuls, based on the
60+ I got from the Hawk a few years ago.  

 

FWIW.  :0)
